Founder case study

How a deep-tech startup closed a S$3M seed round

Three founders had strong technology and an unclear IP trail. We fixed the ownership gaps before investor diligence slowed the raise.

Week 1: The gap was clear

Investor review found that key AI developments had not been assigned to the company.

Week 2: Ownership was documented

We prepared retroactive IP assignments and aligned the founders' vesting schedule.

Week 4: Funding terms were ready

The team reviewed convertible note terms and answered the investor's remaining legal questions.

Week 6: The round closed

The startup secured S$3M, with the founders retaining 80% post-money.
